Java Language Features Introduced From Versions 8 Through 17

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.The Java programming language and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) are known for being very stable and favouring compatibility over new language-level features. This focus on stability arguably is one of the reasons why Java is so popular with larger companies, particularly those of the enterprise variety, where reliability, maintainability and a long-term outlook are key and typically more important than the latest and greatest features. However, starting in 2017, with the Java release cycle changed ...

What is a (business) process, actually?

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.The terms process and business process, in particular, are sometimes used lightly and without thinking too much about what those terms actually mean. Drawing upon and thinking in terms of the concept of a value chain (i.e., a set of activities designed to create a product or service that has value to a customer) some time ago I came up with this definition of what constitutes a process, not just when it comes to business ...

Hexagonal Architectures: @Column(nullable = false) vs @NotNull in Java Applications

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Recently, I came across a small and common, but all the more interesting, hands-on example of why a hexagonal architecture can help with making both the architecture and the code of an application more understandable, approachable, and maintainable. I won't be going into any details about the concept of and ideas behind hexagonal architecture here. The gist is summarised quite nicely in this quote from Tom Homberg's article on Hexagonal Architecture with Java and Spring: The ...

A few random thoughts on the development of software development in recent years

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Last year, I replied to Tom's question "Has software development grown harder over the last years or have I just grown sluggish?" on Twitter with these incoherent ramblings of a greybeard, who has seen at least 3 fat-client-thin-client cycles: As usual it depends. Just a few examples: Spring Webflux and the "Everything has to be reactive even if the requirements don't demand it." fad is a bane. Just recently, I've been helping a client with getting ...

Excalidraw: Shapes for UML & ER Diagrams

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Excalidraw is a fairly new (having started in January 2020) virtual whiteboard software for creating diagrams with a hand-drawn aspect. I really like the aesthetics of diagrams created with Excalidraw. They have a natural feel and elegance to them. However, when recently revising some of the diagrams for Stratospheric – From Zero to Production with Spring Boot and AWS I found Excalidraw to be lacking shapes for UML & ER diagrams. I know, not everyone is ...
